Garima's doctoral research is an ethnographic exploration of the life and labour of young people participating in new types of jobs at the bottom end of the booming private service economy in urban India. The research brings to the fore the contradictory experience of inauthenticity and alienation – manifest in feelings and practices of ‘trickery’ and ‘fake-ness’ – that lies at the heart of the labouring youth's attempts at bridging the gulf between the fantasy, possibility and reality of becoming a ‘new age professional’ in the neoliberal economy. Her work has appeared in the Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Modern Asian Studies, and Ethnography.
As part of a second project, she has been studying the intimate social and kin worlds of women living at the fringes of the 'millennial city' of Gurgaon, India. In particular, she is writing about the gendered ways in which money, labour, land, and consumption constitute affective orders and disorders within the space of the home, and the counter-intuitive ways in which they narrate the story of domestic violence (or its looming possibility) - a sensitive and often elusive subject.
